The benefit of using an open source database is that for your critical
needs, you have the possibility of adding the feature you really want. In this talk we’ll present some MariaDB features and MySQL bug fixes that were created for a paying customer to solve their specific need. These go from feature enhancements to the mysqlbinlog tool to performance optimizations for certain joins and MyISAM keycache.

Completed work:

table elimination

mysqlbinlog enhancements

MyISAM key cache performance

Ongoing or proposed work:

index_merge (fair choice between index_merge union and range access)

streaming UNIONALL (without temp table)

IPv4 datatype

Microsecond datatype

Storage Engine API improvements
